Advanced double layer capacitor
Abstract
The overall goal of this project is to develop electrochemical capacitors with no liquid electrolyte present. The liquid electrolyte is replaced by a solid ionomer electrolyte. An advantage of these devices over conventional electrochemical capacitors containing free acid would be greater safety and reliability. In the fifth quarter, efforts were concentrated in five areas: preparation and characterization of electrode materials, fabrication of membrane and electrode (M and E) assemblies, development of sealed-cell hardware, capacitance determination by constant load discharge, and determination of cell internal resistance.
